For what value of K does the point (k+5 , 2k+5) lie on the line -3x+7y=-24

Dear Student,
Here is the solution of your asked query:
The given equation of line is -3x+7y=-24Since, k+5,2k+5 lie on the line so putting x=k+5 and y=2k+5 we get;-3×k+5+7×2k+5=-24-3k-15+14k+35=-2411k+20=-2411k=-24-2011k=-44k=-4411=-4
Regards

X=K+5      Y=2 K+5
-3(K+5)+7(2 K+5)=-24
-3 K- 15 + 14 K + 35 = -24
11 K + 20 = -24
11 K = -44 K= -44/11 K=-4
